His butler, Temple, acted as his main father figure until dying suddenly. Balfour’s parents pretty much abandoned him to the care of school and servants from an early age. However, readers learn early on that there is a reason for the prickliness and the need for routine and control. The hero, Lord Balfour, is often known as Lord Thorn for his prickly demeanor. The hero irked me at times, but otherwise I loved the book and I’d give it a B+. It’s not high drama, but rather a sweetly traditional Christmas story. I found a treat in Elisabeth Fairchild’s 1999 trad Regency, The Holly and the Ivy. With this month’s TBR theme being holiday romance, I just had to go looking for something Christmasy, and preferably historical.
It’s no secret that I love a good Christmas romance.
